The latest news on avoiding dairy products if you are lactose intolerant, have milk allergies, are a vegan, or want to keep kosher.

The Lactose Intolerance Clearinghouse Has Moved.

My old website can be found at www.stevecarper.com/li I am no longer updating the site, so there will be dead links. The static information provided by me is still sound.

For quick offline reference, you can purchase Planet Lactose: The Best of the Blog as an ebook on Smashwords.com or Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com or a whole lot of other places that Smashwords is suppose to distribute the book to. Almost 100,000 words on LI, allergies, milk products, milk-free products, and the genetics of intolerance, along with large helpings of the weirdness that is the Net.

I suffer the universal malady of spam and adbots, so I moderate comments here. That may mean you'll see a long lag before I remember to check the site and approve them. Despite the gap, you'll always get your say. I read every single one, and every legitimate one gets posted.

Sure I've been seeing Christmas supplies in stores for weeks already, but here in the lactose-free world, it's not the holiday season until Vitasoy brings back its Holly Nog and Peppermint Chocolate seasonal soymilks.

Creamy and smooth, Holly Nog offers just a fraction of the fat -- but all of the rich taste -- of traditional dairy egg nog. It's spiced with a balance of nutmeg and cinnamon. A special holiday treat, Peppermint Chocolate is heavenly served either warmed or chilled. Taste the sweet, premium chocolate and subtle, lingering mint. ...

Vitasoy's Holly Nog and Peppermint Chocolate Organic Soy Drinks are available for a suggested retail price of $2.49 - $2.99. Look for them in leading supermarkets, specialty shops and natural food stores throughout the country.

"Holly Nog is available only during the holiday season but stays fresh all year," said Pam Dietz, Vitasoy Innovations Director. "Stock up now so you can enjoy these delicious flavors all year!"

About Me

I'm lactose intolerant. I wrote the book on the subject. Literally. Milk Is Not for Every Body: Living with Lactose Intolerance is its name.
I've researched everything on the subject of lactose intolerance for 30 years. I know just about everything about living without dairy products. That means I've been able to help people with dairy protein allergies, vegans, those who want to keep kosher, and others who want to reduce, limit, or eliminate dairy from the diet.
I keep an eye out for information that might be useful. You can see a lot of it at my website, Steve Carper's Lactose Intolerance Clearinghouse (www.stevecarper.com/li). The Milk Free Bookstore and the Product Clearinghouse sections have something for everybody. But the site got too big to update regularly and too cluttered to find information easily.
That's why I started this blog. It really does cover the planet for lactose- and dairy-related items. I think I have the only blog in the world that does this.
So please check it out regularly. Send me items you think may be of interest. Ask me questions: I answer every one, either here or by email. stevecarper@cs.com
